The recently proposed new phylum name Cryptomycota phyl. nov. is validly published in order to facilitate its use in future discussions of the ecology, biology, and phylogenetic relationships of the constituent organisms. This name is preferred over the previously tentatively proposed "Rozellida" as new data suggest that the life-style and morphology of Rozella is not representative of the large radiation to which it and other Cryptomycota belong. Furthermore, taxa at higher ranks such as phylum are considered better not based on individual names of included genera, but rather on some special characteristics - in this case the cryptic nature of this group and that they were initially revealed by molecular methods rather than morphological discovery. If the group were later viewed as a member of a different kingdom, the name should be retained to indicate its fungal affinities, as is the practice for other fungal-like protist groups.
最近提出的新门名Cryptomycota phyl. nov. 是有效的，以便在未来的讨论中方便使用，以讨论组成生物的生态、生物学和系统发育关系。这个名字比以前暂定提出的“Rozellida”更受欢迎，因为新的数据表明，Rozella 的生活方式和形态并不代表它和其他Cryptomycota 所属的大型辐射。此外，更高等级的分类单元（如门）最好不是基于所包含属的单独名称，而是基于一些特殊特征——在这种情况下，该组的隐匿性质以及它们最初是通过分子方法而不是形态学发现揭示的。如果该组后来被视为不同王国的成员，为了表明其真菌亲缘关系，应该保留该名称，就像其他真菌样原生动物组一样。
